The Story

Where the Sacred and the
Brutal Share a Roof

The Hearth and the Fire is the opening chapter of the God Bound series — a story that begins where most stories about faith are afraid to go. Into the house. Into the family. Into the silence between what people pray and what they do when no one's watching.

This is fiction built from the bones of real questions: what it costs to keep a fire burning, who gets burned in the keeping, and whether the thing that holds a family together is the same thing that tears it apart.

What Lives Inside

Not a Gentle Story.
An Honest One.

The Weight of the Hearth

Home as sanctuary and battlefield. The warmth that draws people in and the heat that drives them to the edge.

Faith Under Pressure

What belief looks like when it stops being a comfort and starts being a demand — when God is not absent, but inconveniently close.

The Fire That Refines

Destruction and transformation living in the same flame. Characters forged, not by inspiration, but by what they survive.

Bound by Something Older

The God Bound series asks what it means when the divine doesn't let go — even when you've stopped asking it to hold on.

The fire doesn't care if you're ready.
It only cares that you're close enough to change.

The Author

Shaman J. Cross, Warden

The Pen Name of Sifu Michael Johnson

Shaman J. Cross writes fiction the way fire moves — it goes where it wants and doesn't apologize for the scorch marks. The God Bound series is his first published fiction work, written under a name that carries the same weight as the stories it tells. Behind the pen name stands a martial artist, minister, and publisher who has spent decades in the space where the sacred and the difficult share the same room.
